    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 570 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 630 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    Sermon # 25- Arise And Go Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 867 views

    Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Which Side Are You On? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 550 views

    As Jonah fretted and fumed that God withheld His judgement on the people of Nineveh, God saw a people who were ignorant and could not decipher between right and wrong. God calls the church to disciple their members, and grow them in maturity so all will be found in God’s eternal Kingdom.

    Let us thank the Lord for the many lessons we learnt from the life of Jonah. We have come to the final part of this study. When I began this series, I did not expect that it would be such a long one, and I am grateful to the Lord for all that we have learned in this process, and all glory to God ...read more

    Sermon # 21 - Cry Out To God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 30, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,340 views

    As Jonah travailed in the belly of the fish he called out to God knowing that only God could help him. In the midst of all the trials, difficulties and challenges that come our way do we call out to God? Here’s what happens when we do so.

    We read in Jonah 2:1-2, “From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God: When I was in trouble, LORD, I prayed to you, and you listened to me. From deep in the world of the dead, I begged for your help, and you answered my prayer.” (CEV) Jonah called out to the Lord his God from inside the ...read more

    Sermon # 31- Who Is On The Throne? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 578 views

    When the King of Nineveh heard the preaching of Jonah and knew that God’s judgement was impending, he got off his throne and humbled himself before God, the King of kings. God must be enthroned in our hearts too and we must allow Him to rule over our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:6, “When the king of Nineveh heard about it, he got up from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat down in ashes.” (GNB) When the King of Nineveh heard about the impending judgement as preached by the prophet Jonah, he immediately got up from his throne, took ...read more

    Sermon # 49 - Value What God Values Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 590 views

    Jonah had more pity for the plant that gave him a little shade than for the people of Nineveh who had repented and thereby were saved from God’s wrath and judgement. May we learn to value people over things and traditions and love them like Jesus did.

    We read in Jonah 4:10, “The LORD said to him, "This plant grew up in one night and disappeared the next; you didn't do anything for it and you didn't make it grow—yet you feel sorry for it!” (GNB) Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh and eagerly watched to see what would become of ...read more

    Sermon # 22 - Longing For God's Presence Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,103 views

    As Jonah languished in the belly of the fish, he cried out to God and sought His presence. As believers of the new covenant we have the promise of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God every moment of our lives. May we learn to value God’s presence and live in obedience to His word.

    We read in Jonah 2:4,"Then I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?' (GW) After Jonah was swallowed by the big fish that God prepared, Jonah spent three turbulent days and nights in the belly of that fish. At the end of those three ...read more

    THE GREATNESS OF JESUS. Mark 9:2-9. Peter wanted to build three temples on the Mount of Transfiguration: one for Moses, one for Elijah, and one for Jesus.

    Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,196 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

    If there’s one thing the Bible isn’t short on, it’s weird animal stories. Such tales include Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the whale, and Daniel in the lion’s den—well-known narratives that point to an incredibly creative God who uses whatever He desires to bring

    Sermon # 6 - No Need To Fear Death Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,124 views

    Man’s greatest fear is the fear of death, and that’s what gripped everyone aboard the ship that Jonah travelled. Learn how Jesus gives us hope beyond the grave. Also we as individuals and the church we must wake up to fulfill God's purposes in our life time.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. (AFV) As we continue this series on how the life of Jonah can be related to the church today, I believe that many of you are blessed through these meditations. The seamen on the ship were filled with dread when the ...read more

    Sermon # 1- Life Changing Questions Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,634 views

    Think about the questions that were posed to various people in the bible in the Old and New Testaments. The way the people responded brought about major transformation in their lives and that’s exactly what God can do to those who believe in Him wholeheartedly.

    We read in Matthew 9:27-28, When Jesus left that place, two blind men followed him. They shouted, "Have mercy on us, Son of David.” Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they answered. ...read more

    "A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,423 views

    I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass window of Jesus laughing. Did He laugh when Jonah landed on the beach smelling like whale breath? When the wedding party tasted the best wine ever, did He smile? In his discussion with a Canaanite woman is He smiling through the words?

    In Jesus Holy Name August 20, 2023 Text: Matthew 15:28/Isaiah 9:1b-2 Pentecost XV - Redeemer “A Light That Shatters the Darkness” I have seen many beautiful stained glass windows displaying various aspects of the life of Jesus. But I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass ...read more
